times I forget
I yell out in the hall to the bedroom,
Honey, I'll be right there.
She says, that's okay,
I got a brand new book,
And I'm not going anywhere.
Funny thing about a couple,
couple of years gone by,
You don't talk,
you think you know each other so well,
You don't have to try.
You take for granted what you used
to call enchanted just a while ago

I said all night
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Don't invite us to a
virtual party tonight
Yeah, that's what it says
You're invited to a virtual party
tonight
There's computers in the microwave
Computers in the automobile
Computers in the phone
Yeah, even my wife used to tell me
To get a life
He's got a computer of his own
I spend so much time saving time
I can't find any time to spend
I'd take 13 episodes of
Star
Trek

I don't know.
She says her name is
Mata
Hari and that she's particularly
fond of older men.
Well, maybe so, maybe not.
Maybe she's a guy that's
got this urge to pretend.

sleeping at the end of the hall
I shut down the box till
it's three o 'clock
By the time I get to bed
I lift up the cover,
snuggle next to my lover
Find a note there instead
Since the book was done,
I logged on, I found a message from
Hong
Kong
For this virtual party,
I think I might go as

I said, all night long
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You're invited to a
virtual party tonight
Ready or not,
I'm livin' in the 21st century
Gonna find two birds, one pot tonight
And now I gotta figure out ex

Do I get back on line?
An d get to the chapter?
And pretend maybe that I
knew that she was roachy
It doesn't beat all along, except how could I know unless I read the notes,
or I could pretend that I saw the notes back on the screen.
I wonder if she'll buy that.
She might buy that.
Yeah, of course.
Especially if she's still online.
Besides, if she's online,
why is she still online?
Who's she talking to?
